Our Northern Territory holidays & tours

Our Northern Territory holidays explore the contrasting landscapes of the arid Red Centre and the lush, fertile forests in the Top End. In the company of knowledgeable and passionate local guides you’ll admire the amazing Olgas and the spectacular Uluru in the heart of the Australian Outback. You can learn about the intricate art of Indigenous rock painting in Kakadu National Park, or head to the forest to spy native species and rare flora on wildlife watching tours led by expert naturalists. Or for a completely different perspective, try trekking the long distance Larapinta Trail from Alice Springs to Mount Sonder. You’ll stay throughout in comfortable camps, with fees and respect paid to the land’s Aboriginal traditional owners as you go.

NORTHERN TERRITORY MAP & HIGHLIGHTS

You can travel through the heart of the Northern Territory on board the legendary Ghan railway, go on a wildlife tour or just take a four day tour to Uluru and Kings Canyon. The two gateways to NT are Darwin and Alice Springs; the former is the springboard to the Top End, and the latter to Uluru and the Red Centre. You can take a flight from Darwin or Cairns to reach Gove in the historic region of Arnhem Land, although you can also drive from Darwin. National Park musts are Kakadu up in the Top End, and two lesser known nirvanas of Watarrka and Mary River National Parks. The former is home to the Red Centre’s magnificence and the latter to a lot of crocodiles. The coastal crown is East Arnhem, where you will learn all about the maritime heritage of the Aboriginal people.
Bamurru Plains

1. Bamurru Plains

A top experience in the Top End region this unique safari lodge is on the edge of Kakadu National Park, giving you access to a further 300km2 of wetland, woodland and wildlife, waking up to the sound of kookaburras under the old bush tree. Explore by boat, on foot or just sit at your eco lodge and breathe in the timeless landscapes.
East Arnhem

2. East Arnhem

We all know that Australia does beach time brilliantly, but welcome to a whole new level. Home to the Yolngu Aboriginal people for millennia, traditional fishing and sailing is still a way of life here. So you can combine a truly cultural trip in the Nyinyikay homelands with some beach time at the region’s magical spot of Bremer Island, aka Dhambaliya, in the Arafura Sea.
Kakadu National Park

3. Kakadu National Park

Kakadu is Australia’s largest national park at approximately 200km long by 100km wide, half of which is owned by the Bininj/Mungguy Aboriginals. They have been stewards of the park’s rainforest, spectacular escarpments, waterfalls, pools and wildlife for over 40,000 years. We are just mere guests in this spectacular, wild world, which is an utter joy to behold. Staying at Bamurru Plains on the outskirts is Oz bush bliss.
Mary River National Park

4. Mary River National Park

Famous for fresh and salt water crocodile watching, as the park is home to some of the world’s largest. Travel with responsible wildlife guides to see them at a safe distance in specially constructed boats as well as a bevy of beautiful birdlife, including the iconic black-necked stork. Stay in a wilderness lodge and walk out to Couzens Lookout or along Point Stuart Coastal Reserve for superb views.
Uluru

5. Uluru

Uluru is located in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park where there are actually 36 other rocks, known as the Olgas. Uluru and Kata Tjuta dominate the desert landscape and have done for millions of years. The park is now, after many years of struggle, back in the hands of the Anangu Aboriginal people (aka Pitjantjatjara), and all the rocks and landscapes are sacred.
Watarrka National Park

6. Watarrka National Park

Camp here to experience the Red Centre in all its glory, surrounded by the rugged George Gill Range. There’s great hiking here, most famously around the rim of Kings Canyon where red walls soar 100m over Kings Creek, with natural highlights known as the Amphitheatre, Lost City, the lush and ancient Garden of Eden and North and South Walls. Watarrka is often combined with Uluru.

The tour operator gave great advice and the whole rain forest/barrier reef experience was excellent. Most memorable would be the night time in Rose Gums hearing the rain forest come alive to the sounds of so many animals.read more
